Purple Onion Designs has these nifty “Word Blocks” for all kinds of occasions. I’m so excited because I can think of so many ways to use these. They can be a focal element of a card, or a background. I can even cut up the stamped image to create individual sentiments! I think they would [...]
Its getting springy here – my absolute favorite time of the year!
So I thought I’d sketch out another little digi stamp set freebie. Think of it as another Birthday party prize (yes – we are still partying!).
This set contains 2 spring flower images and 5 sentiments. Both JPG files and transparent background PNG files are included [...]
Who can resist the cute Penny Black Hedgehogs? Not me obviously. I just find them all so endearing.
The images on this card come from the Penny Black clear set called “Wonderful” . I tried to make it “springy” and paired it with paper from the Basic Grey Porcelain pad.
The image is cut out with a Spellbinders [...]

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 2010 – can you believe it?
I know I have not posted in a while – things have been so busy – with you too I’ll bet.
One thing I want to mention up front – I had a total hard drive failure [...]
Here is the Father’s Day card I made for DH.
Making cards for guys is challenging for me – I sometimes have a hard time choosing an image.
For this Father’s Day, I chose this lighthouse from the Impression Obsession Lighthouse Cling Set. Life here has been so hectic – I thought this might look peaceful.
I stamped [...]

I love history. Not so much the “who defeated who in the battle of what” kind of history – I’m more interested in how people actually lived day-to-day. When you start to learn some of that stuff, it boggles the mind. You can’t help but have enormous respect for people living then (especially – in [...]
I tried a couple more techniques with my Impressibility dies. Both involve getting inky!
First, I tried the “Letter Press Technique”.
I first saw this on the Spellbinders blog, but since have seen it other places as well.
Basically, you just coat your Impressibility die with ink before you do the embossing. The “debossed” (pressed in) part of [...]
